Imagine a Van Jones in a Republican Administration

Sep 05, 2009 - Imagine a Van Jones in a Republican Administration [Peter Kirsanow] Imagine it's September 2013 and President Palin is preparing to present her massive tax cut proposal to a joint session of congress. She's momentarily distracted by an MSNBC report that her Second Amendment czar, Sig Sauer, has a peculiar history: He was once (and perhaps still is) a Bircher who argued for the repeal of the 14th Amendment. He's also appeared on numerous radio and TV shows calling for the oppressive United States government to be transformed into a monarchy. - 2 Comments

May 07, 2009 - Public Post ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ The problem is they aren't just goofin' By Glenn Garvin You know what they say about monkeys, typewriters and Shakespeare.

In radio and television interviews, the silver-haired 77-year-old former AmeriCorps IG has certainly contradicted insinuations of senility that administration officials made in defending the quit-or-be-fired ultimatum that Walpin said he received on June 11.
